I'm going to make sweet love to this phone.

Oh dear!

I'm glad the phone isn't the same as the SGS3 - I've held a few now and they are just too bloody big!

And feels cheap, even though its far from being cheap.

Huge anti-climax. I'll be keeping my BB for a bit longer yet then

Looks like I am finally going to have my first black iphone. That white one doesnt work with aluminium. Sorry Ive.

The iphone 5 will be a superb top-end smartphone - what more can they do, and why would they dramatically change a great formula that is making them LOLMONIES?

 

[Skillmister]

Fairly, yeah.

Connector time... here we go.

So there's no way the S3 gets 10 hours video surely? I've maxed just under 6 hours straight screen time on my OneS with about 70% video rest browsing.

 

[DIABLO]

So, storage? The last big question, 32GB base model or not?

I'd imagine they are keeping it the same if they did'nt mention it.

 

[No-One]

Have they said anything about it using a nano sim?

 

[DAnDan]

$200 extra to go from 16GB to 64GB, ouch!

 

[Robbo]

No change to the size or pricing, as I suspected.

Yeah, it's a great phone overall, no question. If you like iOS, you'll like the new one, if you like Android, you won't. Not much of a change to that stuff really.

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

So the 3GS is gone but they said they would support iOS6 on it? I hope thats still the case!

[Logsi]

Hopefully O2 will let me upgrade online. I don't want to fanny about at my store again...nightmare...

 

[Marky]

Excellent I have Friday off work too

 

[Westyfield2]

Launch in UK on 21st. That's my birthday

 

[DIABLO]

This definitely looks like a really nice looking phone... I bet it's awesome to hold aswell with it being so light and thin.

Yeah but the back is square so it's never gonna feel great in the hand.

 

[Captain]

19th september for ios 6 on all other devices too.
